I haven't yet met a fabric that didn't respond to Retayne or one of its clones though I do know those products do not help with the dry crocking of indigo (i.e., the color rubs off when dry). To my knowledge, that's the only exception, just crocking and just indigo.
However, if I did have a non-stop bleeder, I would:
a) use it in a monochromatic quilt (e.g., all reds)
b) use it in a non-washable wall quilt
c) use it on greeting cards or gift cards
d) use it in a canvas mounted art quilt
e) overdye it and retest for colorfastness
f) etc, etc, etc
I would
very happily rehome anyone else's perpetual bleeders since my favorite colors and fabrics are those that have a reputation for spilling their dye.
